एवेन सद्यः पर्येति पार्थिवं मुहुर्गी रेतो वृषभः कनिक्रदद्दधद्रेतः कनिक्रदत् । शतं चक्षाणो अक्षभिर्देवो वनेषु तुर्वणिः । सदो दधान उपरेषु सानुष्वग्निः परेषु सानुषु ॥

Sanskrit recitationRig Veda 1.128.3

évena sadyáḥ páryeti pārthiváṃ muhúr-gī́ rétaḥ vṛṣabháḥ kaníkradad dádhad rétaḥ kaníkradat | śatáṃ cákṣāṇo ákṣabhir devó váneṣu turváṇiḥ | sadó dádhāna úpareṣu sā́nuṣv agníḥ paréṣu sā́nuṣu ||

Por este impulso recorre al instante todo el campo terrestre; una y otra vez el Toro del poder brama, llevando la semilla de fuerza luminosa — llevando la semilla, brama. El dios, que ve con cien ojos, el victorioso, obra en las honduras del bosque. Siempre asentando su sede en las crestas más altas y en las laderas más lejanas — Agni en las laderas más lejanas.
